Perl issue

I've been running Cricket on RHEL ES 3 for quite some time now, and 
largely without issue. Yesterday I used RHN to update the server and 
since then my Cricket graphs are failing. If I tail my apache error log, 
I see:

[Wed Sep 06 17:34:43 2006] [error] [client 216.102.20.250] Can't locate

Following this, I started at the first error and checked into line 21 in 
/home/cricket/cricket/lib/ConfigTree/Cache.pm. It says:

use DB_File;

so I did a 'perl -MCPAN -e shell'

then an 'install DB_File', but it says its current. I even updated CPAN 
with an 'install Bundle::CPAN', followed by 'install POSIX' which forced 
an update to Perl 5.8.8. After rebooting, it still didn't work. Next I 
looked at /var/www/bb/cricket/grapher.cgi, line 50. It shows:

use ConfigTree::Cache;

So I went back to CPAN and tried 'install ConfigTree:Cache', but it says:

CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
  Database was generated on Wed, 06 Sep 2006 21:32:51 GMT
Warning: Cannot install ConfigTree::Cache, don't know what it is.
Try the command

    i /ConfigTree::Cache/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

I even tried:

perl -I. -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::CricketPrereq"
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
  Database was generated on Wed, 06 Sep 2006 21:32:51 GMT
Warning: Cannot install Bundle::CricketPrereq, don't know what it is.
Try the command

    i /Bundle::CricketPrereq/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

But as you can see, I can't seem to find it... from what I can best 
guess, the RHN update to my system updated the perl version which 
resulted in an dependency that used to exist to cease to exist. It seems 
I need ConfigTree::Cache, but I can't find it anywhere...

I'm not a perl guy... I only know enough to break it. Any thoughts?
